Deplo
Deplo is an open-source alternative to Vercel, Railway and Cloudflare: push a repo, pick a server, get a deployment, on your own infrastructure.
Deplo is still in beta
Rough edges are expected. The official 1.0 release is planned for Q4 2026.
Why Deplo
Push, and it's live: on hardware you own, a bill you control.
A VPS and a domain is enough
Builds, routing, TLS, backups, monitoring, rollbacks.
No per-seat pricing, no lock-in
You pay your host, not Deplo.
Deploy from anything
A Git repo, an image, a Dockerfile, Compose, or a plain upload.
The shell is optional
An escape hatch for experts, never a requirement.
Familiar by design
Shaped by a dedicated UX/UI team, not reinvented.
A free URL from the first deploy
Before you even own a domain.
Popular features
Deploy from Git
Push, and the build runs itself. GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket or Gitea.
Domains and HTTPS
Your own hostname, a certificate Deplo gets for you.
Databases
Postgres, MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, Redis, ClickHouse.
Backups and restore
Encrypted, scheduled, sent to storage you already own.
Environment variables
Layered, encrypted, injected at build and run time.
Teams and capabilities
Fine-grained access for everyone on the account.
How it works
Two programs, one rule: the control plane decides, the agent executes.
The control plane decides
Renders the Compose file and the routing, resolves secrets, never touches Docker directly.
The server agent executes
One Go binary per host, the only thing that runs Docker, reached over mutual TLS.
Traefik routes and issues certificates
Automatic HTTPS for every domain you add.
Postgres remembers
The single source of truth for the whole control plane.
The box running Deplo itself is just another server in the fleet, no special shortcut.
What Deplo is not
- Not a hosting provider. You bring the server. Deplo never bills you for compute, seats or build minutes.
- Not a DNS provider. You keep your registrar. Deplo tells you which record to create and checks that it resolves.
- Not Kubernetes. The unit is a Docker container on a host you picked, not a scheduled pod. There is no cluster to operate.
- Not a black box. The rendered Compose file, the routing labels and the build logs are all readable from the dashboard.
